Verse 3
Let it burn
Em 
 (E minor) Yeah, and if I'm ever at
the crossroads
C 
And start  (C major) feeling mixed
Em 
signals like  (E minor) Morse code
A 
Em 
 (A major) My soul starts to grow  (E minor) colder
than the North Pole
C 
I try to focus on  (C major) the whole
of where the torch goes
Em 
 (E minor) In the tradition of these
legendary sports pros
As far as I can see,

I let my  (E minor) light shine
Shine bright as an example
of a champion
Taking the advantage,
never copping out or canceling
A 
 (A major) Burn like a chariot,
Em 
 (E minor) learn how to carry it
Maverick, always above
and beyond average
Fuel to the flame that I train
with and travel with
Something in my eyes says I'm
C 
Em 
 (C major) so close  (E minor) to having the prize
A 
I real (A major) ize I'm supposed
Em 
to reach  (E minor) for the skies
Never let somebody try
C 
to tell you  (C major) otherwise

Verse 5
Let it burn
Em 
A 
 (E minor) One love, one  (A major) game, one desire
C 
One  (C major) flame, one bonfire,
Em 
 (E minor) let it burn higher
C 
 (C major) I never show signs of fatigue
Bm 
 (B minor) or turn tired
Em 
 (E minor) 'Cause I'm the definition
of tragedy turned triumph
It's David and Goliath I made
it to the eye of the storm
C 
Em 
Feeling  (C major) torn like they  (E minor) fed
me to the lions
A 
Before my time  (A major) starts to wind
Em 
 (E minor) down like the Mayans
I show 'em how I got the grind
down like a science
It sounds like a riot on hush
it's so quiet
C 
The only thing I hear is my  (C major) heart,
Em 
I'm in (E minor) spired
A 
By  (A major) the challenge that I find myself
C 
 (C major) standing eye to eye with
Em 
C 
 (E minor) Then move like  (C major) a wise warrior
Em 
and not be a  (E minor) coward
You can't escape the history
that you was meant to make
C 
That's why the highest vic (C major) tory
Em 
is what I'm  (E minor) meant to take
Bm 
C#aug 
 (B minor) You came to  (C sharpaug) celebrate,
Em 
 (E minor) I came to cerebrate
I hate losing,
I refuse to make the same mistake
A 
 (A major) Oh,
